Synopsis (short abstract) Locust Bulletin in CCA General situation during April 2018 Forecast until mid-June 2018 Moroccan Locust (DMA) hopper development was in progress in all Central Asian (CA) countries except the Russian Federation as well as in Georgia and probably in Azerbaijan. Because of the earlier appearance of the pest, DMA situation is considered as critical in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. During the forecast period, DMA fledging will occur in most countries while hatching followed by hopper development will take place in the Russian Federation and generalize in Georgia and probably Azerbaijan. Italian Locust (CIT) hopper development will continue in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan and hatching will start in the other CCA countries. LMI hatching will also start. Since the beginning of the national campaigns, 464 000 ha have been treated against DMA hopper bands

    General Situation during February and March 2021 Forecast for April 2021 Moroccan Locust (DMA) hatching started significantly earlier than last year in Tajikistan, as a result of a warm weather and close to the normal rainfall in February. In Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, DMA hatching was recorded during the second and third decades of March. During the forecast period, DMA hopper development will continue in the above countries while hatching will start in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and the Russian Federation as well as in Azerbaijan and Georgia. Italian Locust (CIT) hatching may start by the end of the forecast period in southern Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) countries. By the end of March, overall 5 818 ha have been treated against DMA in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, which is more than in March 2019 (1 500 ha), but less than in 2020 (13 000 ha).
